Question 1

What time do doors open & when does the event finish?

Accepted Answer

Doors open at 7:00pm, which gives you plenty of time to come in, grab a drink and get the party started! The speakers will kick off at 7:30, starting with our open mic. The event will finish around 10pm, but since the venue closes at 11pm, there's plenty of time for you to stay and chat/boogie!

Question 2

How do I sign up to your Open Mic?

Accepted Answer

DM us on Instagram! Slots will be limited (as we can't go all night, as much as we'd love to), so we’ll be picking our open mic line up from a hat on the night. You can also let us know on the door on the night if you're feeling spontaneous x

Question 3

Who can sign up for the Open Mic?

Accepted Answer

Anyone & everyone! All we ask is that you have 1-3 poems prepared beforehand. So, dust off your notes page (or notebook if you're oldschool) and get scribbling. Max 5 mins!

Question 4

I'm new to poetry/have never been to a poetry/spoken word event - can I still come?

Accepted Answer

Of course...that's what we're all about. Come along - you're welcome to just sit, chill and enjoy the night, or put your hat in the ring if you fancy. Everybody is super supportive, and you can expect a chilled, friendly environment.

Question 5

Can I bring drinks in?

Accepted Answer

No - there is a brilliant bar at The Mezzanine with everything you could want. We'd recommend the margs, though ;)

Question 6

Can I bring food in?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can bring in food from anywhere in Tooting Market, or The Mezzanine has a great menu too. Go and find your fave dishes before, or we will have some breaks where you can check out the great selection of restaurants.
